For STAFF to Double check all the details

We chose a sofa,went to give our detail but the house number and ,dob were entered wrong so my husband got declined, he has amazing credit score,I then went to put my details in and the system failed,we had to leave as the dog was at the groomers and needed to be picked up,so we drove all the way back to get him,then drove all the way to the store to sort the sofa out,the system was up and running, the lady who served us was very sorry and polite but it wasn't a nice experience on purchasing the sofa,and having to go back and forth,with the inconvenience it caused both myself and my husband, my husband had to get InTouch with the credit score to make sure that hadnt been affected which was another stressful part,luckily it hadnt.so hopefully the sofa been delivered will be smoother than when we purchased it.As this was the First time we have used your company, in the past we used DFS.
Thanks

Afternoon,

Thank you for your feedback, I hope you are doing well

I am deeply sorry to hear the experience you had when placing your furniture order.

I fully understand how this must been frustrating at the time of placing the order along with the back and forth traveling due to a human error being made causing a inconvenience during your ordering process.

We appreciate your feedback which would be fully taken on board.

Many Thanks

Excellent customer service from Mandy…

Excellent customer service from Mandy in the store however did not appreciate the phone call from another salesperson asking for the payment before the due date Also we went to the store the week before delivery to see Mandy but it was her day off and another gentleman told us we needed to pay 7 days before delivery when we knew it was 3 days He said it was a new rule and wanted to take payment from us
We paid over the phone with Mandy when the payment was due
Delivery and communication was excellent
Very efficient ,polite and experienced gentlemen We would recommend them to anyone

One gentleman was particularly rude the day we went in to the store when we were initially looking at a new suite
Ie/In our face !! and sulked because we didn’t want to deal with him due to his harassing behaviour

Before you’ve even entered the store

Before you’ve even entered the store, you can see the staff staring at you through the door. The moment you step inside, you’re immediately met with a stream of questions and what feels like a rehearsed sales script. Rather than being given the chance to browse, staff continue to follow you around the store, creating an uncomfortable and intrusive experience.

You really need to stop doing that. The overly aggressive, pushy approach makes customers feel uncomfortable and pressured rather than welcomed. Give people the space to browse and enjoy it.

Good Morning Debbie,

Thank you for taking your time to leave us a review and share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your visit left you feeling uncomfortable.

Our aim is to provide a warm welcome and be available to offer assistance when customers need it, while also giving them the space to browse at their own pace. We're sorry that, on this occasion, our approach did not come across that way and that you felt under pressure during your visit.

As there are no order details attached to your review I am unable to look into your account for you. Please can you send a screenshot of your review to socialmedia@poltronesofa.co.uk along with your order number or first line of delivery address including post code.

Kind Regards,

I bought two sofas for over £4,000

I bought two sofas for over £4,000, and unfortunately neither of them works properly.

I arranged for an engineer to come out and inspect them. I was given an appointment over a week later and told they could arrive anytime between 9am and 5pm, so I had to take a day off work. No one turned up.

After emailing, I was offered another appointment more than a week later. At that point, I said not to bother as the sofas are faulty and I’m still within the 30-day return period, so I would rather return them. However, I was told I can’t return them until someone has inspected them.

I’m now stuck with two faulty sofas that don’t work properly, despite being within the return period. I’m extremely disappointed with both the quality of the sofas and the level of customer service I’ve received.

Fabulous customer service

Had a fabulous buying experience yesterday at SCS Polatron store at Middlebrook shopping complex in Bolton/Horwich.
From entering the store to making a purchase Samina gave great customer service.
She was polite, helpful and knowledgeable about the product I wanted. She did not do any “hard sell”! She was able to answer all my questions and did it in a pleasant and professional way. Would definitely go back here again. 10/10 Samina 👏🏅

Young lad walked in

Young lad walked in, took picture of room without asking, he asked where I wanted it, I said to the wall, it was left in middle of the room, and I wasn't asked if that was OK. I asked if he was putting gliders on, he said that he could do, I said no, I've paid for them so please fit them, the gliders they put on are no bigger than the feet and are completely useless, I paid £40 for them and you can buy same ones on ebay for £2.99. I was told the sofas are hand made, yet the stiching on the back is all over the place, not what I would expect from being hand made.

We'd like to take a look into the issues you've raised around the gliders and the stitching. Please see the below link to our contact card, once this has been completed, please allow up to 2-3 working days for a response. I have also popped the link over in an email to yourself.

It took over three months for my £3,500 sofa to be delivered, with the delivery date being pushed back repeatedly. When it finally arrived, it was missing the feet, meaning it couldn’t even be assembled properly.

I then had to chase customer service, only to be told it wasn’t their department and that they would log a ticket. Now I’m expected to wait up to 72 hours for someone to call me back. The whole experience has been extremely disappointing, especially given the amount of money spent. Very poor service.

The pricing was wrong

The pricing was wrong, I've only just checked, but I think we have been over charged.
Having been back to the store, the pricing has been explained, I'm now happy with the explanation. The manager and sales personnel we very professional.
